These specimens looks a lot like C. anserinus
- only it lacks the blue tinges, the bitter taste and the characteristic
smell. Furthermore it is paler.
It also reminds of C. saporatus, which
is bigger, darker, and usually a lot of velar patches on the cap.
Like on the two above mentioned species the cortina of these specimens
is very abundant.
It is very similar to the illustration of C. aleuriosmus var. aphanosmus
in Moser & Jülich, which is probably a synonym
this taxon.
The name Cortinarius rapaceous Fr. is often used for pale phlegmacium
in central Europe, but this name is very hard to interpret, and
should perhaps be regarded as a nomen confusum.
